Synopsis
Mouse feels lower than low. His forest friends, including Badger, Hedgehog, Rabbit, and Mole all knock themselves out trying to cheer up the little guy, to no avail. In the end, all Mouse really needs is a hug! Jed Henry’s wonderful illustrations, in watercolor pastels and colored pencils, beautifully complement the spare text. Readers will love seeing all the exuberant animal antics in trees, ponds, and even underground tunnels as they try to distract their gloomy friend. A charming antidote for the blues.

Review
Jed Henry walks us through the process of creating the cover for Cheer Up, Mouse, from sketches to watercolors to the finished work of art.
This is my initial line sketch for the jacket design. I draw directly into Photoshopwith a Wacom tablet. I like sketching in Photoshop, because it allows me to make
slight adjustments, without having to redraw the entire composition. Because watercolor is such an unforgiving medium, I like to plan out the different
color washes in Photoshop. I then use the color mockup as a guide while I paint. Here is the finished watercolor layer. I don't worry about finessing the image at this
point. The goal is to achieve realistic textures and pigment patterns on the paper.
I scan the watercolor painting back into Photoshop, and continue the process digitally. Back in Photoshop, I add layer after layer of detail to the characters. The digital brush
looks exactly like pastels when applied onto the watercolor background. I add contour lines with a thin digital brush. Finally, the talented designers, editors, and printers at Houghton Mifflin work their magic.
They've done a great job!
